In 1407, Zhu Di sent 300,000 Ming troops to attack Annam. Suddenly, hundreds of elephant cavalry rushed out of the Annan army, and the poor Ming army vanguard was trampled countless times, who knows, but there was a loud laugh behind the battle: "Finally it is time for them to play!" "As a result, the elephant was beaten and turned around and ran.
Annam, as vietnam is known in ancient times, was a county from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, and was not counted as a state until the establishment of the State of Daqu Yue in 968, after which it existed as a vassal state for a long time.
Unexpectedly, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a strange thing happened in Annan. At that time, Pei Boqi, an important minister of Annan, suddenly ran to the capital and slammed on the gate of the Forbidden City, asking for an urgent meeting with Zhu Di, saying that there was a big event to report.
Zhu Di looked confused and thought to himself, Didn't he just finish sealing the Hu clan of King Annam? How come you're looking for trouble again? Seeing the face of the vassal state, he received Pei Boqi.
I didn't know it, and I was shocked at first sight, and Annan actually had a rebellion incident.
Pei Boqi said with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, Annam Cheng Xiang Li Jiyi, secretly plotted to kill the old king Chen Shi, seized the royal power, in order to hide the eyes and ears, he named himself Hu Yiyuan, became the "King of Taishang", and let his son become the king.
In order to further justify his name, the Hu clan lied to the Ming Dynasty that the old king Chen Shi had suddenly died of illness, and because he had no heirs, he passed the throne to his nephew Hu Shi.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di believed that it was true, so he decreed that Hu shi be crowned the new king of Annam.
Pei Boqi said it painfully, but Zhu Di was half-convinced, this is always a one-sided word, and it must be clearly understood. Therefore, Zhu Di left Pei Boqi in the capital and waited for the results of the investigation.
Not long after, another Annan man slammed on the gate of the Forbidden City, and this time it turned out to be Chen Tianping, the brother of the old king Chen, who also told the story again with a snot and a handful of tears.
However, Zhu Di still did not comment, if this matter is true, it will not only damage the image of the Ming Dynasty, but also destroy the tributary system established by Zhu Di, and perhaps directly affect Zheng He's voyage to the West.
But who is lying? The clever Zhu Di immediately thought of a clever trick.
At the end of each year, all vassal states would send envoys to the capital to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Annan would definitely come too, but unexpectedly, Zhu Di arranged a good play waiting for them.
Annan's envoys finished paying homage to Zhu Di and were about to retire. Suddenly, Zhu Di ordered Chen Tianping and Pei Boqi to appear and said, "Who do you see this?" ”
Unexpectedly, Annan's envoys were stunned, and all of them fell to their knees and kept bowing to Chen Tianping.
Pei Boqi angrily rebuked the Hu clan for committing rebellion, and these envoys and the Hu clan were in cahoots. They couldn't lift their heads when they scolded, and some of them cried bitterly.
Zhu Di was furious, denouncing Annan for daring to deceive the Ming Dynasty, and immediately issued a decree to let the new king Hu Shi make an account.
Soon, Hu reported the repentance document to Zhu Di, indicating that he would immediately announce his abdication and sincerely return the throne to Chen Tianping.
Zhu Di was very happy, but he was afraid that the Hu clan would make another moth, so he specially selected envoys and 5,000 elite soldiers to escort Chen Tianping back to China to succeed to the throne.
Unexpectedly, Hu Shi dared to pluck his beard from the mouth of the Jade Emperor's grandfather - boldly packed the sky, ambushed and killed Chen Tianping and the Ming army escort.
When Zhu Di learned of this, his face darkened with anger, and he immediately ordered the commander to send Zhu Neng to lead 300,000 Ming troops to the south.
However, the hu father and son were not afraid of boiling hot water, determined to resist to the end, deployed troops along the river and the river, and prepared to drag down the Ming army with idle labor.
Who knows, the Ming army has not yet reached Annam, but the main general Zhu Neng unfortunately died of illness. According to the pre-arrangement, the position of the main general was taken care of by Zhang Fu, the son of Zhang Yu, the hero of the Jing Dynasty.
Zhang Fu was in a state of flux, but some important towns were still difficult to conquer in the hands of the Annan Army. What is even more unexpected is that the Annan Army also prepared a mysterious gift bag for the Ming Army - elephants.
At that time, Annan domesticated many elephants and prepared to carry out surprise attacks when the Ming army attacked.
Zhang Fu was depressed when he thought of the elephant's huge body, thick skin and thick flesh, and great strength. Just at this time, the military master suggested that the lion could be used against the elephant, because the lion's roar was so loud that it would frighten the elephant.
Time is running out, but where can we find lions? At this time, someone said: If there is really none, just draw a fake.
A few days later, the Ming army cut melons and vegetables all the way to the inner city, and the Annan army could not resist it, and finally used the necessary skill - elephant.
The Ming army did not expect that at this time, the elephant cavalry appeared, and the vanguard team was trampled to death and injured countless times. Fortunately, Zhang Fu had already prepared, and he immediately turned defeat into victory, frightening the elephant to turn its head and run.
It turned out that Zhang Fu ordered the people to prepare hundreds of war horses, blindfold their eyes, and cover them with lion skins, and when the elephant appeared, he lit a fire on the horse's tail and drove the war horse to rush towards the elephant.
At the same time, Zhang Fu sent the Divine Machine Battalion and the Artillery Team to attack the elephants. The elephants were really frightened by this scene and turned their heads to flee, and the Annan Army really lifted a stone and dropped it on its own feet.
After that, the Ming army entered no man's land, swept away the south of peace, and captured the Hu father and son alive.
Since then, Annan has been able to maintain peace.

Later, Zhu Di ordered the restoration of the Chen clan to the throne, but unfortunately the Chen clan had been exterminated by the Hu clan and had no descendants.
At the same time, thousands of Annan people petitioned the Ming Dynasty: hoping to become part of China and be blessed by the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di saw the people's wishes, so in 1407 he decreed that Annam would be changed to Jiaozhi County. Unexpectedly, Annan returned to China after more than 400 years of self-reliance.
As a result, Annan was in turmoil, and 20 years later, Annan separated again.
What do you think of Zhu Di's approach, welcome to leave a message.
